Hi everybody,

Freifunk Darmstadt has fixed some issues with the router firmware and is going to order a big batch of routers on Wednesday.

Everything seems to be working and we want to expand the network. Even if you live a bit outside Darmstadt, it's alright to join Freifunk Darmstadt - we have nodes in places as far as Langen and Pfungstadt.

These are the two TP-LINK models we are going to order:
 * 2.4GHz: WR842ND (max. 28€) 
 * 5GHz: WDR4300 (max. 52€)

NanoStations and similar devices still have to be tested, so we won't order any for now.

If we order many routers, the prices will be lower (but we cannot estimate how much). Those are the "worst-case" prices.

Please email me until Wednesday noon if you are interested.

Cheers,
Ana/spiky

Um genau zu sein supporten wir (bzw. Gluon) auch folgende, weitere
Router-/AP-Modelle:

Ubiquiti Networks
- - Bullet M
- - NanoStation M
- - Unifi AP
- - Unifi Outdoor AP

TP-Link:
- - WR1043N

Das sind in der Regel Modelle, die 8M Flash-Speicher haben. Im Moment
genügen auch noch Geräte mit 4M (z.B. TP-Link WR841N[D]), aber wir
wollen natürlich etwas Spielraum nach oben haben. Wenn ihr also
bereits eines dieser Modelle besitzt, dann habt ihr Glück, denn Gluon
baut hier Firmwares.

Die Ubiquiti-Hardware ist etwas hochwertiger und für technisch affine
Menschen sicherlich interessanter. Der Preis ist hier allerdings
leicht erhöht, bis hin zu einem Vielfachen.

Wenn ihr neue Hardware preiswert kaufen möchtet, dann greift bitte auf
die Empfehlungen von Ana zurück und beteiligt euch an der
Sammelbestellung.

Beste Grüße,

hexa-

P.S: Nächstes Treffen ist nächste Woche Mittwoch, 14. Mai, 19:30 Uhr
in der Höhle.
